Riff 2 (chorus)
e-------5------
b-3-5-6---6-5-3

[Verse 1]
Dm
They wanted me here
Bb
Just to show you my face
Dm
But when it comes to the crunch
Bb
I just hide in disgrace
Dm
You're calling me mad
Bb
But i know you're the same
Am
Cause you got to be seen to be playing the game
Gm
Yes we got to be seen to be playing, the game

[CHORUS]
Dm
It ain't gonna hurt now
       Gm           C
If you open up your eyes
Dm
You're making it worse now
       Gm           C
Everytime you criticise
Dm
I'm under your curse now
       Gm           C
But I call it compromise
Am
I thought that you were wise
Gm
But you were otherwise

[Verse 2]
A specimen like you
I would love to obtain
I asked a tedious guy if he'll tell me your name
I'd love to impress you
With a back somersault
I want to take out your love
But it's locked in a vault
I wanna take up your love
But it's locked in a vault

CHORUS

[Verse 3]
When i open my mouth
I'm so brutally honest
And i can't expect that kind of love from you
When you open your mouth
your teeth are beautifully polished
And i can't extract the pain you're going through
No i can't explain
The pain you're going through

CHORUS
